Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

It simulates tree-level growth, mortality (and recruitment) of a given stand requiring stand-level and tree-level parameters. Simulations are done using tree-level models starting from intial age (AD0) until final age (ADF) in increments of 1 year. The model of mortality is the same as whole-stand simulator. Note, recruitment is currently not implemented.

1	tree_simulator(core.tree = NULL)

core.tree

An object completely originated from core_module

A series of elements and parameters with updated tables. Outputs are the same as input_module but these are updated for simulations. The main table is sp.table and tree.list that contain a stand table for the new simulations, and the tree list for the latest year, all based on the given parameters. Also, all other information is updated for time AF.
